NEW YORK - The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services is reportedly seeking to give grants to programs that hand out crack pipes to drug addicts as part of a program to keep drug users safe. The idea is to limit infections among drug users.
A $30 million Biden administration grant program includes money for non-profit groups to purchase 'safe smoking kits/supplies according to a report in the Washington Free Beacon.
The pipes would also hopefully convince people to smoke instead of injecting drugs because injections are reportedly riskier.
San Francisco and Seattle have tried crack pipe kit distribution programs.
News of the pipe program came the same day that the Justice Department signaled that it might be willing to allow safe injection sites for people to use heroin and other drugs.
